Calabash Nutmeg

Calabash Nutmeg is the seed of Monodora myristica, commonly used as a warm, aromatic spice in West and Central African cuisines — also called African nutmeg or ehuru. It’s typically grated or ground and used to flavor soups, stews, rice dishes and spice blends. As a seed spice, Calabash Nutmeg is oil-rich and concentrated — it contains about 36.3g of fat per 100g — so small amounts deliver most of its flavor and mouthfeel. It also contributes fiber and plant-based fats when used whole or ground. Nutritionally it’s best thought of as a potent seasoning rather than a bulk food: it supplies fats and some fiber and has a good overall protein quality for a plant seed, so it's a flavorful way to add depth to dishes without adding large volumes of calories.Read more
